CCFE Annual Report published | 13/10/2010

The 2009/10 Annual Report of the EURATOM/CCFE Fusion Association has been published.

The report covers the Association's activities from April 2009 to March 2010. Among the advances featured are CCFE's work on ITER systems, the installation of the ITER-like Wall on JET, the upgraded MAST Thomson Scattering diagnostic and JET dust analysis.

In his introduction to the report, Professor Steven Cowley, Head of the CCFE/EURATOM Fusion Association, says:

'The fruit of our labour, fusion power, is not yet ready, but in ITER it is ripening. One day in the mid-2020s, ITER will "burn" a plasma – the scientific proof that fusion power is possible. The work presented in this report takes us closer to that day and beyond to the realisation of commercial fusion power.'
